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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to 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 may require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients 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.
