Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - East Boothbay, ME.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in East Boothbay includes detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
