For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
