Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Douglas, AK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Douglas includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the 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 persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
