For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
