For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug 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 are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
