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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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.
