For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
