For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
