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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Elkhart would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
