For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
