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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Oakland can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
