For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
