For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
