For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
