Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Johnstown, CO.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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