Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Eastport, MI.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Eastport includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
