For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle 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 critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
