Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Western Springs, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
