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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle 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 substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in San Clemente would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
