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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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 stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in La Rose can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
