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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, 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 well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
