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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight 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. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hartwood includes detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
