For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Glenwood Springs can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
