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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show 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 critical medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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