For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
