For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
