For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
