For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
