Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Butte, MT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Butte can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
