Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ebony, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery 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 should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Ebony would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
