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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle 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 rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Shelby includes detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
