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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
