Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Marshall, AK.

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

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Marshall includes detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
