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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting 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 transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have 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 disorders.
