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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, 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.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
