For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
