For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
