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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential 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 or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
