For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
