Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Palm Desert, CA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol 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 are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Palm Desert includes detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind.
