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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
