Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thousand Palms, CA.

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

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Thousand Palms can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
