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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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