Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Amherst, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Amherst can include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
