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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
