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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
