For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
