Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Vermont, IL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
