For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
