For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
