Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lake Bluff, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. 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 individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
