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

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions 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 serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in West Hills can include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
