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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in West Augusta includes detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
