Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ellsworth, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting 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 in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
