For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
