For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
