    Abstract

    Substance abusers with HIV/AIDS have a complex array of problems that are not easily addressed in outpatient or long-term residential programs. A new but promising treatment modality is residential detoxification for substance abusers with HIV/AIDS, such as described by this paper. The purpose of the program is profiled, as well as its general components and the aspects that address the special needs of HIV clients. Data indicating the successes and limitations of the program are presented, along with recommendations for further addressing the needs of substance abuses with HIV/AIDS.
