Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ashland, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Ashland can include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
