Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wiggins, CO.

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

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking 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 Wiggins can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
