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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing 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.
