Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - San Luis Obispo, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
