For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
