Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Diggs, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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