Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Wake, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
