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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Gilson can include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind.
