Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pierson, MI.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential 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 drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Pierson can include detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
