Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bar Harbor, ME.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
