For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
