For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
