For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
