For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
