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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Stow would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
