Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bloomington, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
