Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lake Oswego, OR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Lake Oswego would include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
