Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Damariscotta, ME.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central 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 issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Damariscotta would include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
