For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
