For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
