Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dowell, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, 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, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give 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 intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
