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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting 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 in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in West Mclean includes detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
