Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Achilles, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment 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 if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
