Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Freedom, WY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Freedom includes detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
