Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alton, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate 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 medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Alton includes detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
