For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether 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 problems.
