For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of 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 need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Oak Park would include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
