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 at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
