For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give 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 critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
