Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Chatham, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
