Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Scammon Bay, AK.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
