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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Citrus Heights can include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
