Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Black River, MI.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
