For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
