Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - North Highlands, CA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
