Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Midlothian, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their 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 spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
