For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
