For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their 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 in the case their drug problem continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently 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 intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
