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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
