For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.
