For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
