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

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses 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.
