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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
