Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mission Viejo, CA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Mission Viejo includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
