Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Modoc, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
