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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Washougal can include detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
