For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
