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

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

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
