For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
