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

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

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Salem includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
