Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Big Sandy, MT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab.

This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
