Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - South Casco, ME.

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

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in South Casco would include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
