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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in DHS would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
