Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sterling, AK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
