Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Portola Valley, CA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Portola Valley can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind.
