For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
