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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in McGrath can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
