For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug 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 may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing 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.
