Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Winnetka, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
