For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
