For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative 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 problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
