Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ararat, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
