Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Walsh, IL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Walsh can include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
