For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
