Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Unalaska, AK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting 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 in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
