For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
