Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bishop, CA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative 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.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Bishop can include detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
