Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mount Hood Parkdale, OR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
