Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Alfred, ME.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
