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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if 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.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Monticello would include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
