Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wasco, OR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
