Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sheridan, OR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline 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 require significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Sheridan can include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
