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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Beals would include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
