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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
