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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Mason would include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
