HIV & AIDS
______There is a dramatic relationship between substance use and HIV transmission. We believe that substance abuse treatment is the gateway to HIV prevention. We teach patients about the hazards of high-risk behavior, risk reduction, and emphasize the difference that informed safe behaviors can make in HIV prevention.
______We provide FREE pre-test and post-test counseling and FREE HIV testing to all patients. For patients's who test positive for HIV and are opiate dependent, we offer a free onsite support group once a week. Additional services include advocacy, case management, psychological assessments, and psychiatric and medical treatment referrals.
______If you are interested in any of these services or have any questions regarding our HIV and AIDS services please call and ask to speak to our HIV case manager.
