Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Rawlings, VA.

For persons 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Rawlings can include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
