For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies 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 medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
