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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
