Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Jonesport, ME.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Jonesport would include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
