For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
