For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
