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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in West Paris can include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
