Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Altona, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Altona would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
