Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Brandy Station, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health 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 medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Brandy Station can include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
