Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hanover, VA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hanover includes detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
