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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Markham includes detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
