For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
