For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions 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 intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see 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 problems.
