Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Shorewood, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Shorewood can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
