Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Farmington Falls, ME.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Farmington Falls can include detox treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
