Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rural Retreat, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Rural Retreat includes detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
