Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - National City, CA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons 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 Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
