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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Woodland Hills includes detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
