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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Downers Grove would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
