Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Newport, ME.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
