Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dolphin, VA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems 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.
