Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lee, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Lee can include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
