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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Merino can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services 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 recommended.
