For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
