Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Chambersburg, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
