For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
