For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
