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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
