Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Laura, IL.

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

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
