For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
