Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Burgess, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if 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.
