For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while 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 issue continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
