For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
