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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if 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 treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Alhambra would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
