Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fairbanks, LA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Fairbanks includes detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
