Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Addison, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart 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 therefore need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam 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 problems.
