For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
