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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery 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 or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Cardinal would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons 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 recommended.
