For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 problems.
