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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Whittier includes detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
