For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
