For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
