For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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.
