For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab 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 should their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
