For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
