Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Glen Ellen, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Glen Ellen includes detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
