Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Edinburg, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Edinburg can include detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
