Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Oakland, OR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing 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.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Oakland would include detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
