For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting 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 are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
