For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
