Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Pulaski, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
