Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Radiant, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
