Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Jamaica, VA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive 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 problems.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Jamaica can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
