For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
