Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Grafton, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see 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.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Grafton can include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
