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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety 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, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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