For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
