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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, 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 problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
