For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
