Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, 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 issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
