Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - St. Elmo, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment 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 or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in St. Elmo includes detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
