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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
