Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fairbury, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, 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 addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Fairbury can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
