Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bettles Field, AK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
