Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shenandoah, VA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time 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.

This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
