For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
