For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
