Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Watsonville, CA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Watsonville would include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
