For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
