For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
