For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
