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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have 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 problems.
