For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
