Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Carbon Cliff, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Carbon Cliff can include detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
