For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
