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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing 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 disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Forest Park would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
