Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Edwards, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Edwards includes detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
