Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kirkwood, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
