For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial 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 substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses 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.
