Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Partlow, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Partlow can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
