Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Potrero, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
