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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
