For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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.
