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

For people 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 rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
