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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
