For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
