For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
