For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether 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.
