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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time 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. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
