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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
