Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Franklin, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if 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 problems.
