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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
