For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.
Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
