For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.
Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if 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.
