For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, 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 this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
