Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Tehachapi, CA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Tehachapi would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
