Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Spruce Head, ME.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Spruce Head would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
