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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
