Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mc Farland, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
