Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Los Altos, CA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline 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 significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
