For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
