Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Gladstone, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Gladstone includes detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
