Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in North includes detoxification services that are responsibly administered 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 healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
