For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central 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 or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.
