Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shafter, CA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
