For people 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 at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
