Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fulton, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Fulton can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
