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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. 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 transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Orland can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled 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 healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
