Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cowden, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Cowden can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
