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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
