Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Chesterfield, 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 at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine 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.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Chesterfield would include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
