For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
