Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Washington, LA.

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 recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab 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 issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Washington can include detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons 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 encouraged.
