Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Puyallup, WA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing 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.

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