Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pelican, AK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether 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 disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Pelican would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
