Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bowling Green, VA.

For people with HIV or 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 simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
