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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Bettles includes detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
