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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Mascoutah can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
