For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
