Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Central, AK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give 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 addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Central would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind.
