For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
