Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kaunakakai, HI.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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