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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Summer Lake would include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
