For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 if their drug issue continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
