For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have 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 disorders.
