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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Burnt Prairie includes detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client 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 self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
