Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Yuma, CO.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Yuma can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
