Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Buckingham, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle 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 treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Buckingham can include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
