Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Elmwood Park, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Elmwood Park would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
