Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hercules, CA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment 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 see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
