For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
