Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Brightwood, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
