Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
