For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
