Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Edgar, MT.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Edgar would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
