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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Atwood would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
