For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have 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 disorders.
