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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Bowdoinham can include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
