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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Shepherd would include detox services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
