Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Fort Defiance, VA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
