Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
