Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Waterford, VA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Waterford can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
