For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
