Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Birchleaf, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central 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 substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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