Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Stephens, WY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing 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.
