Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lopez Island, WA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
