Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - White Marsh, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to 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 therefore need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in White Marsh includes detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
