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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if 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.
