For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
