Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Creve Coeur, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
