Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Frederick, CO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Frederick can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
