For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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 disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Whittier would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
