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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Wellington can include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
