Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lakewood, CO.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Lakewood would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
