Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Descanso, CA.

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

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
