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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Orcas can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
