For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
