For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
