Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Boulder, CO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
