Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Highlands Ranch, CO.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Highlands Ranch can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
