For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol 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 are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
