Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - St. George Island, AK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
