Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shell, WY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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