For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
