For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
