Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Burlington, WV.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Burlington can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
