Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Free Union, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment 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 or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Free Union can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
