For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems 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.
