Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Adak, AK.

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 recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
