Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Pomona, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
