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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see 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 problems.

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