For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
