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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, 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 issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have 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 treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Lafayette can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
