For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial 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.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
