For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Santa Fe Springs would include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind.
