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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight 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 addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative 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 substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment 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 disorders.
