Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Kalskag, AK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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