Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Martinsville, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
