Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - El Cerrito, CA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently 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 stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
