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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Lexington can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
