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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Sanford can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
