Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mount Vernon, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Mount Vernon can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client 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 recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
