For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
