Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Scales Mound, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Scales Mound can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
