Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tahoma, CA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic 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 public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
