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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently 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 quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.
