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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
