For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
