Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Serena, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment.

This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
