For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons 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 screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
