Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hyder, AK.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Hyder can include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
