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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery 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 should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
