Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Metlakatla, AK.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing 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. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses 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 problems.
