Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Grimstead, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Grimstead can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
