For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
