Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Thomaston, ME.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Thomaston would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
