Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shapleigh, 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 addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
