For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have 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.
