For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
