For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, 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 problem continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
