For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
