Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Port Townsend, WA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Port Townsend can include detoxification treatment that are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
