For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. 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 if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
