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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to 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 imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Zeigler can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab 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 persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
