For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
