For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
