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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
