For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
