For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.
