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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and 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 general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
