For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
