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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have 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.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Wrangell would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
