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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment.

This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
