Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - North Waterboro, ME.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a 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.
