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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the 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, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
