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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Fort Lyon includes detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
