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

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

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
