Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - San Carlos, CA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing 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 this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
