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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether 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.
