Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Loves Park, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Loves Park can include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
