For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
