Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lewis, CO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Lewis includes detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
