For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Calumet City can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
