For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
