For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they 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 problems.
