For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
