Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hoonah, AK.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether 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 disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Hoonah would include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
