Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Maywood, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline 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 need critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons 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 checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
