For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline 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 require serious medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
