Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cleveland, 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 acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
