Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Eagle Rock, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
