Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Denver, MO.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline 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 may require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Denver includes detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
