Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Boykins, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems 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 problems.
