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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
