For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
