For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle 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 rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
