For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
