For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
