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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, 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 recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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 stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Golconda includes detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
