Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Nehalem, OR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Nehalem can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab 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 encouraged.
