For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
