Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pound, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give 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 critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
