Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Broadway, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get addiction rehab.
