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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hood would include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
