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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery 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 if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Craig includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
