For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
