Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Blackstone, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether 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.
