For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
