Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - El Verano, CA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see 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.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
