Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Shandon, CA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Shandon can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
