Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mount Shasta, CA.

For persons with HIV/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 drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Mount Shasta includes detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
