For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
