Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Virginia, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Virginia would include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
