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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Arapahoe would include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
