Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Harborton, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get addiction treatment.
