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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may 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 quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
