Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - La Conner, WA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in La Conner can include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
