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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Kasaan would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
