For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
