For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
