For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals 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 checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
