For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether 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.
