For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
