For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
