For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
