For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. 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 may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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.
