Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Stanwood, WA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial 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 drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Stanwood would include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
