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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
