Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Byron, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery 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 if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Byron can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
