Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Alameda, CA.

For persons 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 rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Alameda can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
