Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Alberta, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have 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 problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Alberta includes detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
