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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
