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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
