For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses 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.
