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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a 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 disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Thornton can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
