Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alma, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
