For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
