For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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.
