Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sherman, 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 recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial 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 or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Sherman can include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
