For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
