Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Carmel by the Sea, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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.
