Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Kupreanof, AK.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Kupreanof would include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
