For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.
