For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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 disorders.
