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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Peaks Island can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
