Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Penhook, VA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
