For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
