For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
