Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Livermore, CA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping 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 should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Livermore can include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
