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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Kobuk includes detox treatment that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
