Keeping this client in recovery is not only central 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 or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
