For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
