For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
