For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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.
