For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing 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.
