Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Antioch, CA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Antioch would include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
