For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they 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.
