For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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.
