For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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.
