Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Rio Linda, CA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems 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.
