Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Mollusk, 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Mollusk can include detox treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
