For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
