Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Abingdon, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
