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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Illinois City would include detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
