For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
