Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oxbow, OR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Oxbow would include detox treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
