Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ulm, AR.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. 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 substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle 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. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Ulm would include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
