Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Penn Laird, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if 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 problems.
