For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
