For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
