Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - La Palma, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have 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.
