For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
