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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
