Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bassett, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
