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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. 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 if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing 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 rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Russian Mission would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
