For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
