Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Riverdale, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
