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

For people 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 rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
