Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lummi Island, WA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. 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 spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
