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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if 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.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Merry Point can include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
