Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Homer, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. 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 spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Homer can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
