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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central 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 issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
