For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
