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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
