For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment 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 drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
