For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
