Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Forest City, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems 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.
