Housing for Those with HIV
In 2002, Montgomery County was identified as having the highest rate of infection with HIV/AIDS for the state of Alabama.
HIV infection is a major problem among people who have co-occurring substance abuse disorders and mental disorders.
Up to 15 percent of people with serious mental illnesses may have HIV and up to 13 percent of those being treated for substance abuse are likely infected.
Research has found that individuals with substance-related medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS benefit from integrated treatment.
Lighthouse Counseling Center provides a multiple service system of substance abuse treatment, housing, provisions of basic necessities, on-going assessments, and case management services for the HIV/AIDS population.
