Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Phillips, ME.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Phillips includes detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
