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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Newark can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
