For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
