For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
