This survey (which involved 76% of clients) found that 41% of the clients of these centers reported IV-drug use. Clients who attend alcohol- and drug-drug rehab San Francisco centers may not be representative of the IV-drug-using population in a locality (1); however, they do represent a population that is accessible through public health California drug rehab that offer counseling and testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, partner notification, and other HIV-related services (e.g., free and confidential CD4 lymphocyte testing with referral to other health-care providers). These services can provide incentives for clients to return for follow-up counseling, which is important for behavioral change among IVDUs (2). Results of this evaluation also indicate that greater efforts in preventive addiction treatment San Francisco are needed to reduce risk factors associated with HIV transmission among IVDUs.
