For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons 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 checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
