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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Fairfax can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
