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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Shaktoolik would include detoxification treatment that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
