For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, people who fight 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. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems 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.
