Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Richland, WA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
