Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Castine, ME.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues 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. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
