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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Richmond can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
