Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Alakanuk, AK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
