Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Scottsburg, 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 recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
