Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Richland, OR.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Richland can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
