For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle 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 rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial 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 substance abuse issue continue.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
