For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing 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.
