Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mackinaw, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery 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 drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Mackinaw can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
