Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Amherst, CO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and 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 transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing 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 problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Amherst can include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
