For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
