Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Champaign, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Champaign would include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
