Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Merlin, OR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Merlin would include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
