For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
