Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Darien, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central 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 or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
