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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial 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 issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Sheridan Lake can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
