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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Burbank can include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
