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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate 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 medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Ellisville can include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind.
