Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Keen Mountain, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
