For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol 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 don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
