Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Oakton, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
