For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
