For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.
