Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Machipongo, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Machipongo would include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
