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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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 problems.
