For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, 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.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
