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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether 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 problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Dewitt would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
