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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
