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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
