For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
