Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Haysi, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Haysi can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
