For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and 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 should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
