Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Orlean, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses 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 disorders.

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 encouraged.
