Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Austin, CO.

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

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Austin includes detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
