Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Brighton, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to 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 central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
