Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Carthage, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
