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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Port Heiden includes detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
