For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses 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 problems.
