Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Marshall, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle 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 or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Marshall can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
