Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Franklin Park, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
