Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Andalusia, IL.

For persons 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 treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have 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.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Andalusia can include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
